Adrenalin pumpin’ through my shirt
Somebody sponge me before I get hurt
Need to ring it out and leave it for ‘ron
It’s a bottle of juice for you to pour on
You’ve got me burning from inside to out
I’m trying not to look but there’s something about you girl
I need a funnel to pour you in
To my dirty love, to my lovin’ sin
Did I hear you right or did I hear you wrong
Did I hear you voice baby call my name
You are like a lucid dream
Sliding through the crowd like a moonlight beam
And I don’t recognise this feeling
Don’t realise what I’m saying
Too many times I’ve been mistaken
Too many times
There’s a dog in my throat cause I can’t speak to save me
Bubble of blood floatin’ through my heart
Your lips are a vacuum and mine are like dust
Hoover me up baby hoover my love
Cause you are a woman made for loving me
From side on straight on any which way baby
Like spoons in a drawer and peaches and cream
Did I ever tell you baby you wear a mean pair of jeans
I’m falling I’m yearning my feelings are burning (for you)
White rum I’m drinking pineapple juice I'm sinking (with you)
Freshwater lake swimming (with you)
One candle burning I see your face smiling (at me)

Seven days it has been or a week since I've seen
Your face in the mirror behind me
I never look back when I'm drownin' in smack
'cos the devil knows where to find me
Grab a spade, dig a hole, and we'll both jump in
But my buddys too fat and I won't fit in
You'll hear me singin' this song when I'm speeding along
Rikki Tikki Oo-I-A-O
We played piggy in the middle and to solve this riddle sing
Ay Oh Ay Oh
The man in the moon came down too soon
Ay Oh Ay Oh
Hey diddle diddle there's a rabbit on the fiddle,
The cow blew up on the launching pad
I feel fine but the other blokes mad
Rikki Tikki Oo-I-A-O
03. Déjà vu03. Déjà vu
Click here to turn Lyrics for this song ON or OFF
Sun came up this morning, same place in the sky
Familiar thoughts flashed through my head and then they said goodbye,
Have I been there am I dreaming Was it in the past
I'm so confused, was it a question already asked
And I don't know why or where or when
Could it have been now or there or then
So long yesterday
Tomorrow I saw you just before
Lets go back to the future baby
Hello tomorrow, remember tomorrow
The past has just begun
Well we've all had this feeling, but what does it mean
Can I see the future as a super human being
Am I psychic, am I tragic, could I be the one
Has it happened, is it over, have I already come
And I don't know why or where or when
Could it have been now or there or then
04 Nobody Came04. Nobody Came - A song about a sad but hopelessly optimistic loner.
Click here to turn Lyrics for this song ON or OFF
Nobody came to my party today
I thought I had some mates but they must have gone away
The vol-au-vents have dried up and the ice just melts away
Like the longing in my heart for some friends to come and play
I sent out loads of invites with a note for a reply
A hold up in the post must be in the only reason why, I've got no
Wacky dudes and red-hot chicks tearing up this place
But this loneliness I feel right now is kinda hard to face
My heart skipped a beat about an hour before
I jumped up all excited, I heard knocking on my door
My house is number 2 but my chin it hit the floor
The Jehovah's had some dip and then moved onto number 4
It's getting close to midnight and I'll have to go to bed
I've tried to finish all the punch but it's messing up my head
At least there's nothing broken and I'm somewhat over fed
I can use the party poppers for the wake of Uncle Fred
05. WC Fever05. WC Fever
Click here to turn Lyrics for this song ON or OFF
Gutter crawlers, beer-ed up brawlers
Bulldog spirit overflow-ers
Moronic minds and Rule Britannia wins
I have no friends that act like that,
Some xenophobic pissed up pratt
Under the gaze of all the world
Destroys what could have been a ball
Images that span the world
Of frightened little boys and girls
St. George's cross but not half as much as I
Is it all worth fighting for
Another dull and lifeless draw
A game's a game and should be fun
But your bigotry is not welcome
06 Greek Tragedy06. Greek Tragedy
Click here to turn Lyrics for this song ON or OFF
Battle scars shine in the western sun
Lines on my face from the wars I've won
Black tie and suit I have bequeath
Bound up so tight I can't catch my breath
Land mines explode in the fields of my emotions
Crowd gathers round to witness your devotion
Romantic notion 'til death do us part
Joy's lost her place in this cold black heart
To see you smile, I just want to cry
To see you laugh, makes my fears run wild
Hugs and kisses, congratulations, well wishes
So much love I'm drunk with suspicion
Death to the sun from winter winds
Grease on that gait but he ain't so trim
Shine on his shoes I can see my own face
God it's hell on earth to be in this place
Land mines explode in the fields of my emotions
Crowd gathers round to witness your devotion
Romatic notion 'till death do us part
Joy's lost her place in this cold black hear

There was three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o
One sang it high and the other sang low
And the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was upstairs there the lady went
To put on her suit of leather-o
And there was a cry all around the door
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was late that night when the Lord came in
enquiring for his lady-o
And the servant girl she says to the Lord
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Then saddle for me my milk white steed
My big horse is not speedy-o
And then I'll ride till I seek my bride
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Well he rode East and he rode West
And he rode North and South also
And when he rode to the wide open plain
It was there that he spied his lady-o
Why did you leave your house and your land?
Why did you leave your money-o?
Why did you leave your newly wedded Lord
all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"
Yer what care I for my house and my land?
What care I care for money-o?
What care I for my newly wedded lord?
I'm away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Oh, you rode east when I rode west,
And you rode high and I rode low.
I'd rather have a kiss of the yellow gypsy's lips
Than all the cash and money-o
It was there last night you'd a goose feather bed,
Your blankets drawn so comely-o.
How could you leave your newly wedded lord
All for a raggle taggle gypsy-o
Yer what care I for my goose feather bed?
What care I for my blankets-o?
Tonight I lie in a wide-open field
In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o
08. Ashamed08. Ashamed

I was standing there feeling dejected
Wondering where it all began
And I could not help but see
See that I was ashamed
Countless hours I've spent wondering where it all might end
As I move about my day it makes me feel ashamed
To call myself a human being
Now I'm trying to climb a mountain made of crumbling earth
And it feels like it's held together with dust and lies and suits and ties
When I wake I want to swim with you again

(Verse Adolescent)
Hey there Father Time what you doing' to me
I got bum fluff on my chin and a heavy case of acne
I cover my face in spot removing lotions
My girl friends got a bumper bag of creams and potions
I spend about an hour in the bathroom
Telling my folks I'll be out there soon I hope
(Verse Jack The Lad)
Hey there Father Time what you doing' to me
I gotta six pack stomach a heavy wallet and energy
I drank about a bottle of Bacardi
Dancing' with this chick at an all night party
We spent about an hour in the bathroom
Telling my friends I'll be coming' soon I hope
(Verse Mid- life crisis)
Hey there Father Time what you doing' to me
I got an aching back, rheumatoid arthritis and pleurisy
Another bum grape dropped yesterday
My nasal hairs are pencil thick and turning grey
I spend about an hour in the bathroom
Telling my kids I'll be out there soon
10 Red Berries10. Red Berries
Click here to turn Lyrics for this song ON or OFF
Red berries on a tree are they good for you or good for me
Taste so good and smell so free red berries on a tree
Well I take those berries and I put 'em in my mouth
I wanna feel the high that I read about
I wanna feel the sun melt the sky out
red berries on a tree I need to find out
I take those berries in to my hungry pit
Too many might kill ya too few will make you shit
The book said maybe five then just wait and see
Take only three more berries from the red berry tree
My skin begins to tingle as the sound gets turned down
I'm walking over sticks and leaves like I'm walking on clouds
I can't hear a thing except the sound of my breath
And I walk towards a staircase that circles to the left
I walk towards the staircase I see snakes in the trees
It feels like they are watching me and putting me at ease
'Cause the snakes they seem friendly & willing me to climb
To the top of the staircase to the top of my mind
My ears begin to sing seven colours to the sky
I can see taste touch and hear for the first time in my life
A light then brightly flashes up to the right
And I float towards a circle a circle of light
The circle of light gets larger as I get near
My senses are smoking especially my ears
A gentle sound surrounds me like bees in a hive
I stand before the circle and then step inside
Old lady she found me fucked up against a tree
Red stains on my fingers blood red stains on my teeth
11 Cowboy Dan11. Cowboy Dan
Click here to turn Lyrics for this song ON or OFF
He can go a thousand miles & he will never be alone
cos he's a cowboy in his heart & dirt & dust is where he makes his home
He travels through the great divide just another lonely ride
Six months quickly passes by his woman still not by his side
I just wanna shake his hand
That's Cowboy Dan
Saddle sores that feel no pain he's pullin' harder on the reins
That superhero cowboy man
That's Cowboy Dan
And yes he can
He fights for what he thinks is right no fear for any other man
He'd rather bleed until he dies as long as he's the last one left to stand
His skins as red as outback dust it's like it's tattooed to his hide
For there's no greater sight to see than a man so full of pride

(For Mum)
I loved it when you visited, hated it when you left,
You took with you a part of me that made me feel bereft
And for all the good you left behind and all the time you cared
I never could or would replace those moments that we shared
And you know that I love you
And I know you love me too
That's why it hurts
When you've given so much when you've cared so hard and you've forgotten how to take
The Karmic wheel it spins right round and your own luck you make
I can hear you laugh, I can see you smile, I can see you shine at night
For those that follow on behind, you've left your guiding light
When I look at how we've come to grow and spread out on our own
You've always been there holding me and now it's so unknown
But I still love it when you visit and I feel you by my side
I feel a warmth that's telling me a tale of mothers pride
